Want to swing it like Tiger (or, whisper it, like Rory) in 2013? Well, Nike have hidden their technology away in their new VR_S Covert Irons...

FANCY a new set of irons for 2013? Inspired by thoughts of swinging a Nike swoosh like Tiger Woods or (whisper it) Rory McIlroy?

Well, building on their eye-catching VR_S range of earlier this year, Nike Golf will soon be releasing a high-speed cavity back iron designed, they say, to maximise distance, control, and forgiveness.

The VR_S Covert irons combine a sleek look with high performance technologies, such as the "High Speed Cavity Back" and a "NexCOR" face.

Nike claim that by adding this new hidden technology - that's the 'Covert' bit - into their lineup their engineers have been able to move the weight of the club to the corners. That has raised the moment of inertia (MOI), to increase forgiveness and add even more distance to off-centre shots.

A new variable added to the VR_S Covert irons to maximum distance is the ultra-thin 1.6mm sole thickness.

'Distance, control, and consistency are the keys to successful golf shots,” said Nike Golf director of club creation Tom Stites. 'Golfers will notice positive improvements not only on crisp shots, but on off-centre shots as well.'
